advice on changing a clutch...

[davehg]

does anyone have a how to and pics on changing a clutch in a fd???

[petemillis]

Don\'t attempt it without a lift and an extra pair of hands - that\'s my tip! had one done by RX Motors for £411 all in which seemed to be money well spent. 4 hour job with the car lifted up. Probably about a week if you try it at home using ramps!

ok cheers mate, so where can i get a clutch from that will be good for  the 1/4 mile/every day driving and will take at least 450bhp??

Check the links at the top of the page (Dragon, ReWorx, RotaryTarts and Shy), they can all supply you a clutch that can do what you request.

Hiya,

For this sort of power you will need an Exedy Hyper Single plate clutch and these are £998 +vat but that does include a very light  flywheel.

Hope this helps

not easy as the clutch stays in the gear box my advice is to go into the ebay manual and look for the stransmition removal not to mutch a job if you ask me u do need an engine hoiset tho

Easiest with a ramp but I\'ve seen Chris do it on the floor before now...Geff charges about a tonne to fit a clutch generally.

We are also Exedy dealers btw, so have a look at the website for prices of the single and twin plates etc, hopefully they are competitive!

We are also starting to sell the Xtreme clutches which Max and Geff run in their cars. Considering the abuse the red car has had the last 12 months the Xtreme single plates look good and they drive very nice too compared to a lot of uprated units...
